After 4 played minutes Jurassic Monsters SA got a freekick which was hit by Angelo Almeida. After 4 played minutes, Ac Milan's Musa Gjoka shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Zézinho Brito came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Ac Milan reached it. An unexpectedly hard shot by Natã Carioca in the 12th minute of play forced Ac Milan's goalkeeper Edi Hasani to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Giovani de Salles charged in rather forcefully in the 41st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Giovani de Salles the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Ac Milan booed when Jurassic Monsters SA was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 41 match minutes in a wonderful position. Giovani de Salles didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Bilal Xoxe fell near the penalty area in the 42nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ac Milan's protests and gave Bilal Xoxe a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Ac Milan's Bilal Xoxe got a free kick in the 43rd minute. Jurassic Monsters SA's Giovani de Salles shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 44th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Edi Hasani but with some difficulty. After some fancy dribbling in the 46th minute, Islam Abilaliaj managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ac Milan's supporters rose to their feet, but Islam Abilaliaj was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Zézinho Brito breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.
